A Few of my Favorite Things: Evol Foods

As a graduate student I tend to be on the run quite a bit. Sometime I have to pack all of my lunch, dinner and snack in my little cooler and I don’t always have enough leftovers to get me through. Plus, deli turkey on whole wheat gets old VERY fast. For this reason I like to have a stash of frozen food as a backup. It’s also nice to have something I can grab while walking or taking transit. I prefer to sit down and eat but sometimes my schedule dictates otherwise.

Most of the time I try to stay away from the super processed frozen food. Frozen diet meals (Lean Cuisine, Healthy Choice, etc) aren’t bad in a pinch, but they honestly aren’t all that tasty and they don’t fill me up at all so I tend to avoid them

They’re not attempting to make “diet” food, just appetizing food that is frozen so there’s no flavorless, waxy, super-processed junk here. It’s just good solid protein filled food in a neat little package. Perfect for an on-the-go day!

A solid bonus is that they avoid hormones and synthetic additives, and do their best to use green energy and recyclable/compostable packaging.

They’ve now got bowls and premium burritos and wraps as well, and I need to make a trip to Whole Foods to see if they carry them (my local co-op is where I picked up the burritos). They’re not super low calorie or super cheap (real food is never super low calorie or cheap), but worth the calories and cash for a satisfying freezer stash in my opinion.

I’m also entertained because they call themselves “An Evol plot to change the world.” 🙂
